Generous amount of veggies. Would have liked the sauce to be thicker and have a stronger peanut taste. - Squid Sisig: Never had squid as sisig before and this was interesting. They did it well as it wasn't rubbery at all. Good portion size. - Garlic Rice: Good amount of garlic flakes, would have liked a stronger garlic undertone. - Halo Halo: The star was the two scoops of icecream. The rest of it was meh. A bit heavy handed on the ice. - Icecream: Got a scoop of the taho and it came with the classic syrup and boba. The icecream was smooth and the flavour came across strongly. Pricey but I guess you pay up for the ambiance. Go early as this place gets absolutely packed and frenzy. Explore the rest of Tagaytay while you're there.

The place has clearly had some upgrades and looks beautiful, even though there was still construction happening during our visit. What really stood out was the staff. They noticed we were bothered by the noise and kindly offered to move us to another section, which made a big difference. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and just all-around great. As for the food and drinks, the blueberry cheesecake was the star of the table. We also enjoyed Chardonnay and coffee, both of which paired nicely with the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, it was a solid experience and still one of our favorite stops in Tagaytay.

Although the interior decor is much the same as in the US, it seems the clientele here seems to be a bit more high end... in used to seeing a bunch of club goers grabbing breakfast here as the sun rises on them. Anyways on to the food. Actually not horrible, I found it more like comfort food for those of you who miss the traditions of being stateside. The serving of chicken fried steak was huge, but the patty was thin, and the serving of hashed browns was also inadequate. But you know there's just something about having chicken fried steak, hash browns, and sunny side up eggs for breakfast that just brings a smile to your face! The bacon was like really thin, like shabu shabu thin! Like it broke off when i tried to pick it up. Pancakes were on point fluffy and tasted great! Overall, hey man!

Leslie's Restaurant in Tagaytay hasn't changed over the years: the menu, the sumptuous cacauphony…read moreof tastes and aroma that fills the air, and to-die landscape remains to be the elements, that drive thousands to this mecca of sorts. I've come back from afar and wanted to dine again, on their bulalo and voila, the crowds descended like hungry wolves which made my trip, more interesting and exciting. The mist from an unstoppable showers was complicit in creating an avant garde of magical beauty as we sat down and ordered our culinary delights. The huge one sized bulalo was to die for, bone marrow was salivating, meat was super tender and the soup reminds me of honey in some sense. Their dinakdakan was sliced and presented in its usual sense, aromatic with the spices and pork fat that to me, defines what truly was an epicurean Filipino classic dish. Their "grilled squid" was sliced perfectly and tasted like no other, chewy but tasty, squiddy but came with a combination of spices that reminds me of the sea. The tilapia was mainstream, grilled perfectly but and with fresly cut tomatoes and onions which enriched the usual restaurant menu. I can go on and on but the beauty of Tagaytay was in its View To A Kill, mist laden but as the sun came to slowly diminish the fog, a paradise of sorts appeared from the front of the restaurant like a gods was of Athena on a bright morning day. So, if you're in the Philippines, head to Leslie's Restaurant in Tagaytay and mix in with the crowd who come from all over towns and countries to enhance their culinary experiences in a nation of maikling and happy people. Oh one more observation, the servers were great, smiling as always, kind and knowledgeable about the dishes they serve... TGIS was an important part of the experience, too. So, as I go back home to California, I feel am truly richer than yesterday and more content with my visit of the Philippines with this stimulating culinary experience!

Gourmet's Farm compound is known for Gourmet's Cafe, a small place that offers quick meals, drinks,…read moreand happens to also be a store where you can purchase their farm's products and other locally-sourced items from food to personal care. Though, not a lot of people know that further inside Gourmet Farms is a Mediterranean-inspired fine dining restaurant called The Dining Room. It's yet another one of those structures that are inspired by those houses in Santorini, Greece--all white and turquoise with a dome. Their menu is more refined than that of the storefront cafe, so if you're feeling a bit more fancy, head here instead. My family and I went here for an early New Year's lunch and since we had our dog tagged along (which they allowed!), we opted to eat al fresco. They have a pretty nice ambience since you'll be eating adjacent to their gardens. While I couldn't say anything about their meat dishes, I really enjoyed their salad bar. It's a piece of heaven for any hungry vegetarian/vegan. The greens are fresh, the roasted vegetables were flavourful, and they have a variety of salad dressings available. You're guaranteed to have super fresh produce, too, since it's really pretty much farm to table here. This place is great for families, or for a lunch/dinner date. Though if you're looking for a quick bite, opt to eat at the cafe instead since this place can get a bit pricey.

The facade of the restaurant is like a Greek house in Santorini. It serves organic, farm to table dishes. They grown their own lettuce and coffee. Upon request, you can visit their lettuce farm just behind the restaurant and walk around the farm and see how everything starts. Being a frequent visitor, we probably have ordered everything on the menu. They often offer a buffet with unlimited fresh salad. Price is very affordable and worth the value. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. I also love their pastas and meals. Don't forget the banaba iced tea, This is the place to go if you want to eat healthier and in a good environment. Parking is ample.

The herb roasted chicken is definitely my biggest recommendation here, as it's so delicious and smells amazing. Their binagoongan rice is also excellent, and goes well with your meals. Our party was mixed with both a la carte and their prix fixe classic menu that already had set courses, which ended up confusing our table a little bit (how to tell your lola they can't eat my bread...) so I recommend sticking to one type for all if possible. The servers kept it under control though and were friendly, had good rapport with our family, and kept everything refilled. We came on a weekday lunch and it was empty, and felt like we had the entire venue for a private lunch - highly recommend if you're able to come during the week!

I was let down by the poor service we received during our time here at Bag of Beans. We ordered refillable Houseblend coffee and Kapeng Barako, but we were not able to really maximize the bottomless option. The servers were not as visible during our stay there, and we constantly had to call for one's attention. The servers can also be better trained to roam more frequently and be available for assistance. Another issue and big dissapointment I had was the Cold Brew Lemon & Mint they have in their menu. I don't think I will be alone to assume that this beverage will also be locally brewed and prepared like their coffee, but unfortunately that was not the case. The cold brew order turned out to be just a glass of cold water with a tea bag sachet branded Ahmad Tea London. To top it all off, the cold water mug they served has an ant in it. I had to request for a new mug, but the replacement mug of cold water also took too long to arrive. It was at least good enough that they have a good overlooking view going for them to soften the blow of bad service we experienced during our time.
